ABSTRACT
The present study was undertaken to estimate serum cortisol level in control experimental groups in Bangladeshi people. For this purpose a total number of 55 subjects of age range (18-55) years were selected from Mymensingh Medical College Hospital during July 2003 to June 2004. Subjects included in this study were divided in to two main groups control (n=13) and experimental (n=42). According to different types of stress the experimental group was further divided in to four subgroups infection, psychiatric, pre and post surgery. Blood samples were collected from all subjects with aseptic precautions at 8 AM and serum cortisol concentration was measured by Radioimmunoassay method. Statistical analyses were done by using Student's 't' test. A distinct and statistically significant increased serum cortisol level was observed in infection, psychiatric disorders and post surgical group in comparison to control group (P< 0.001). While no significant difference was observed in pre surgery when compared to that of control group.
